C.E.Harvey Studio, 2115 Indian Avenue, Chicago, ca. 1880s. 4.25 x 6.5”
An usual tableau which gives rise to speculation. Who was the woman and what was her relation to the children? During this racist period, Chinese-American children who sometimes appeared in photographs with Caucasian social workers, being adopted or “saved” from Chinatown poverty, were generally not so richly dressed.
